Hide

Chapter Twenty-Four - FeeFee

When I get to AP History Jace isn't there yet, I find myself letting out a relieved breath, even as my eyes betray me, searching for him, despite my not wanting to care. I grab a spot where all the seats around have been filled. My attempt at avoidance, not really wanting to speak to him, unsure of how that conversation would go. He probably feels like Deacon, but all the same, I'd rather not hear it. Well, even if he doesn't say it, the fact that I care this much still makes me want to hide, all the more. Knowing eventually he will feel it.

When Jace finally comes through the door, I make myself look at the window, instead of into his knowing eyes. The whole way through I can feel his stare tingle at the back of my head, but I refrain from turning back to him. I continue to watch the rain fall and the drops run down the glass.

We get told we have to work in pairs with who we are sat next to, writing a report on the book we have been assigned. I shift in my seat and face the girl I'm partnered with, warily.

The first thing I think when I look at the girl is, sassy. She's wearing so many pieces of jewellery I cant even begin to count it; rings, piercings, bracelets, and necklaces galore. somehow she makes it work though. She's wearing black leggings and a baggy top that is half off one of her shoulders. Her hair is fire red and dead straight down her back, all the way down, touching her bum. Her lips are pulled into a constant smirk a deep red that matches her hair, while her eyes have been painted that smokey sexy style, framing her warm, laughing brown eyes.

"So, what on earth am I going to do with you, girly?" She asks, placing a hand on her chin, as if I have any idea what she's talking about.

My brows draw together in confusion, and she lets out a little laugh. She shakes her head, hair swishing everywhere, and then places her hand out in front of me. Her nails are each painted a different colour, each with its own pattern in place. It must take ages to do that.

"I'm Faith, but you can call me FeeFee." She announces, introducing herself. I take her hand and give it a shake. What is with people and the formal greeting here? Tony did the same thing.

"May."

"Oh I know your name, missy. What I don't know is how you've somehow managed to grab the eyes of not only Mr. Gets Around, but also the three Amigos'? I mean sure Jace and Nate are friendly enough, but Deacon?" She she tilts her head to the side, eyebrows raiser and lips pouting. "The way y'all all act, you're practically best buddy's. "She twists her head in the direction of my so called buddy and then back to me, conspiratorially. "Well not today so much. Seriously though, these guys just don't act the way they do with you, especially with a girl."

Not liking the way this conversation is headed I try to make light of the situation, this girl is definitely not going to let the topic drop if I simply ignore her. I glance at the door and debate whether I should just leave for the day, but if I did I don't know where I would actually go. I don't want to go home.

Uhg, stop thinking about her.

"I know them a little. We hung out a bit over the summer." I tell her nonchalantly. I don't add that I live next to Jace, not wanting to see how that would go down.

"Surreee. You just hung out, that's it, the end. Fine, fine, whatever, its your business. Honestly I'm more interested in getting to know you anyway. A girl that can get to know those boys, that quickly, is a girl I want to call a friend." She beams at me, showing how much she means it.

She takes the lead in planning out how we are going to manage our report, and I sit back letting her have her way. She reminds me of some old friends I had in New York, buzzing around constantly.

This girl is definitely a good way to distract myself. Maybe I could even have a little fun while I'm at it.
